Notes

Throw is worked in joined rounds with right side always facing.

When instructed to work in a stitch "2 rounds below" work in the indicated stitch in the round numbered 2 less than the round you are working. For example, if you are working Round 6, a stitch "2 rounds below" is in Round 6 – 2 = Round 4. Similarly, if you are working Round 13, a stitch "3 rounds below" is in Round 13 – 3 = Round 10.

The yarn color is changed every round. To change color, fasten off the old color then join the new color as instructed.

Throw can be worked by following the written instructions or reading the stitch diagrams, and changing yarn color as in color sequence.

Wow, this is stunning. You could probably even use it as a rug, though I'm not sure you'd want to put it on the floor! Maybe a wall hanging to spice up my living room decor! Or ya know, a beautiful blanket that gives my bed a polished look even if my sheets under the comforter are tangled. :)

I have seen a lot of mandala patterns but this is the first time I have seen one designed into a throw. Red Heart is ahead of the curb with this design. Fall is a beautiful season but I think that if I put all the work into a pattern like this, I would like a warmer palette. I guess I am going to have to get my color wheel out and find seven replacement colors. This is going to be so much fun.

Wow! OMG! I am at a loss for words. This circular throw is almost making me wish I had a circular bed! The colors are beautiful and the design with all the texture is a piece of artwork. With all of the special stitches and color changes, I would consider this an advance piece myself. I am not sure if I can pull this one off but it is going into the files.

This Circular Fall Mandala Crochet Throw is so beautiful! I bet it will look great in any room and great to wrap up in. I love all the colors used and all the different stitches makes one sweet looking throw. I'm going to give this one a try and put my crochet skills to the test. It's been awhile since I've done a few of these stitches so this one will be fun. I am happy to see the charts shown for this and the idea of the pattern right here is also helpful. Thanks!!
With the end of January coming I think this will be a great time to start this one, I love working on a warm blanket. Thank you for sharing this great crochet throw pattern.

What image formats and sizes are supported?

We support JPEG, GIF and PNG images. Files must be no more than 1MB. Both the image height and the image width must be between 60 and 3500 pixels.

Instead of uploading an image, can I just enter a link to an image?

No, all images must be uploaded to Prime Publishing. This ensures your image is always available.

How long does it take to upload an image?

The time varies depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the image file. For a 400KB image, for example, you should expect 2 to 4 minutes over a 56KB modem and under 1 minute for DSL or cable modem.

Where will my image appear?

Generally your image will appear where you uploaded it: in the article image gallery.

Who owns the images I upload?

The rights owner of the image continues to own the image; uploading your image to Prime Publishing does not transfer ownership.
